FM-1976/ov_Llama-SmolTalk-3.2-1B-Instruct warn
Weights only ship in a format that can run code when loaded; its license differs from its base model's; the chat template differs from its base model, which changes behavior.

Findings
Scanned 2026-08-25 · published from a community scan.
medium Pickle-serialized weights, no safetensors
Weights ship only as pickle-based files (openvino_detokenizer.bin, openvino_model.bin, openvino_tokenizer.bin). Loading pickle executes arbitrary code from the file — prefer a safetensors release or load in a sandbox.
How to fix
Convert the weights to safetensors before loading them anywhere that matters.
- Do not load the pickle files in-process — pickle deserialization executes arbitrary code from the file.
- Convert locally in a sandbox: `pip install safetensors` and use `safetensors.torch.save_file` on a state dict loaded with `torch.load(..., weights_only=True)` (refuses most code-execution payloads), or use Hugging Face's `convert.py` space/script.
- Pin the exact revision hash you converted from, and load only your converted safetensors artifact from then on.
medium License differs from claimed parent (creativeml-openrail-m vs llama3.2)
This model declares creativeml-openrail-m while its claimed base meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct declares llama3.2. Verify the re-license is permitted before commercial use.
How to fix
Verify the re-license is actually permitted before relying on it.
- Read the parent's license for derivative-work and re-licensing terms — many open-weight licenses (e.g. Llama-family) do not permit arbitrary re-licensing.
- If the re-license is not permitted, the parent's terms govern your use regardless of what this repo declares.
medium Chat template differs from claimed parent
The chat template does not match meta-llama/Llama-3.2-1B-Instruct's. Template drift silently changes model behavior even when weights are identical — 37% of drifted derivatives in our census left it undisclosed. Diff the templates before deploying.
How to fixingot patch
Restore the parent's chat template in `tokenizer_config.json` — a pure metadata fix.
- Run `ingot patch <owner/model>` — the patch manifest carries the parent's template and applies it to a local copy's `tokenizer_config.json`.
- Or fix by hand: copy the `chat_template` value from the parent repo's `tokenizer_config.json` into this model's, and pin your serving stack to that file.
- If the drift was intentional (the author retrained on a new template), confirm that in the model card before "fixing" it — restoring the parent template on retrained weights changes behavior too.
Fix it
Some findings are metadata-level and patchable — apply the fixes to your local copy (your weights never leave your machine):

Remediation guidance addresses the documented findings only. It is evidence-driven repair, not a safety certification of the model.
